Pretty good deal! I usually go with Nutricost and they're usually the cheapest...they're currently $1.02/oz with S&S vs this comes in at 94¢/oz.

Comparison of Creatine HCl and Monohydrate
Effectiveness:
Monohydrate: The gold standard, with decades of research showing 5–10% strength gains, increased power, and muscle growth. It reliably saturates muscle creatine stores at 3–5g/day.

HCl: Assumed to increase muscle creatine stores similarly, but no direct studies confirm equivalent performance benefits. Its effectiveness relies on unverified claims of better absorption.

Safety:
Monohydrate: Extensively studied, safe at 3–5g/day for healthy individuals, with no evidence of serious side effects (e.g., kidney damage) when used as directed.

HCl: Likely safe, as it delivers the same creatine molecule, but lacks long-term studies. Higher acidity could theoretically irritate the stomach in sensitive users, but this is unconfirmed.

Cost:
Monohydrate: Affordable (~$0.08–0.12/g for generics, $0.12–0.26/g for Creapure). Widely available and cost-effective.

HCl: More expensive (~$0.20–0.40/g), despite claims of lower doses. Without evidence for reduced dosing, it's less cost-effective.

Research:
Monohydrate: Backed by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, making it the most evidence-based supplement for performance.

HCl: Limited to a few small studies (often industry-funded) on solubility, with no human trials comparing it to monohydrate for performance or side effects.

I say stick with monohydrate.

I think there's a lot of hype and marketing, but creatine monohydrate is creatine monohydrate. What matters is purity and price. I opt for Creapure (https://www.creapure.com/en/creap...t-creapure) - from whoever has it cheapest, usually Nutricost.

Is there a reason not to go with the cheaper Horbäach Creatine Monohydrate instead?

I would go with this brand because it is recommended by Dr. Rhonda Patrick as one of the best supplement companies due to their diligence in delivering high quality, tested, & monitored supplements. She's amazingly good. YouTube her or listen to her podcast if you are interested in health & longevity.

Yes, she is very knowledgeable in her expertise of health & longevity!

My only thought was, why pay extra if it's just a pure creatine monohydrate? No fillers or nonsense added. Haven't heard anything bad about Horbäach either. If taste/grit/consistency were an issue, it could be a valid point.

Either way, to each their own! 😊✌

No. Exact same product.

I use it. Seems the same as other brands I have used. Optimum Nutrition for example.

BTW, Taking creatine can mess with your kidney function blood tests. If you take creatine you need to tell your MD before taking blood tests.
